Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it is considering legal action
against the official campaign for Britain to leave the European Union
for using its logo in the group's leaflets in a move implying the
Japanese automaker backs Brexit.
Toyota said in a statement that the use of the Toyota logo in Vote Leave campaign flyers ahead of the June 23 referendum "could mislead the reader into thinking that Toyota endorses the Vote Leave campaign."
The automaker said it fully respects whether to remain or to leave the European Union is for the British people to decide, while repeating its belief that British membership of the European Union is "best" for Toyota's operations and long term competitiveness.
